SOUTHERN FARMERS AND
PROTECTION.

Every now and then some orator. be-
fore Farmers meeting, series of which
are now being held in this State, under
takes to enlighten the Virginia farmers on
what is the reason there is not more
prosperity in their calling than there is.
The orator informs them that it is owing
to the fact that the farmer cannot buy
where he pleases and sell where he pleases
in other words, the lack of free trade.
The meetings generally listen to the ora
tor and, like the Augusta meeting, pay no
attention to bis free trade theories but
address their resolutions to something
practicaI-the railroad tariff. The farmers
of the South want no free trade and these
orators are wasting their time, If we may
Judge from the action of the Farmers
Assembly at Atlanta, Ga. last week. 1t
was the most general representation of
farmers ever assembled in the South, and
Delegate Barker, from Arkansas, offered
the following resolution:
Whereas, The agricultural interests of our
country are in depressed condition as shown
by reports from every section of the ten cot
ton States here assembled; and
Whereas, We believe that this depression
is caused in great measure by the protective
tariff, Therefore,
Resoly ed, That we urge upon congress and
especially upon the representatives, from our
respective States revision of the tariff, and
that it be made to tax only the luxuries of
life and these only for the purpose and to the
extent of needed revenue.
A motion was made to lay it on the
table and the vote upon the motion was
taken by States with the following signi-

Pho WING UP SENATOR MA
HOMES RECORD.

AS might be expected the pampb
let of Mahone on his work in the Senate,
has brought out a destructive counter
blast. Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall has
carefully hunted out the Senator's record
with the most searching accuracy and has
published a letter giving the date and
page of the Congressional Record to verify
his statements. From the Record he shows
that while Senator M. voted against the
amendment offered to the dependent pen
sion bill, to impose tax On incomes to
meet it's requirements, he voted against
the amendment to the same bill to put
Mexican soldiers and their widows upon
the pension roll. He voted for the Deepen
dent pension bill. He voted against the
amendment to the pleuro-pneumoniA bill
making liberal appropriation to aid in
stamping out this disease among cattle.
He voted to perpetuate land grants to
railroads. He voted to continue the
Northern Pacific Railroad exemption from
taxation. He voted to permit members
of Congress to act as attorneys and en-
ployees of railroads IN cases in which the
United States may be interested. He vo-
ted against the conference report Of the
two houses on the Interstate commerce
bill. Although Gen. Malone claims to be
warm friend of the Blair bill. he voted
fer Senator Hale's amendment, which pro
vided that in each State in which there
shall be separate schools for white and
colored children the money paid in such
State shall be apportioned and paid out
for the support Of such white and colored
schools in the proportion that the illitera-
cy of the white and colored persons bear
to each other according to the census of
1886. Gen. Malone did not vote, nor was
he paired, on the amendment of Senator
Plumb making the Blair bill effective only
upon its acceptance by three fourths OF
the States. These are some of the charg-
es of commission upon which Col. O'Fsr-
rail- arraigns the late Senator. Then fol-

HOW 4 SOLID SOUTH IS
WELDED.

They had a lively time In Wheeling, W.
Va, last week. There was Grand Army
reunion attended by Governors Beaver OF
Pennsylvania, Foraker Of Ohio, and Elk
Gov. Pierrepoint. A Democratic paper
had swung across the street a banner with
President Cleveland's likeness On it and
the words, ''God bless the President of
the United States-the Commander-in-
Chief of its Army and Navy" Many Of
the Republican Grand Army men in the
procession refused to march under the
banner, and in retaliation many of the
Democratic Grand Army men marched
under it with cheers, Or when in minori-
ty in their division tore off their badges
and left it when it refused to pass under
the banner. The excitement was brought
on in a great measure by kilograms to
Pennsylvania and Ohio Republican papers
the day before, urging the veterans not to
pass under the banner which was already
up After the disturbance of the day, a
serenade Of welcome was given to the
more prominent of the visitors at which
Gov. Wilson, of West Virginia, spoke
warmly of the South, its loyalty, and OBJ
jected to the word rebel being applied to
1t. Governors Foraker and Beaver replied
in bitter speeches and their followers made
a pandemonium in trying to howl Gov.
| Wilson down. The whole thing shows
| that politics bid fair to rend the Grand
] Army in twain, as they do any other Or
| ganization that forgets it's original pur-
pose and NEEDLES with them.
1t is rather curious that shrewd politi-
| clans of the Republican party like For
aker and Beaver should add fuel to the
| fame by their bitter, sectional, and war
remembering speeches. Their States are
certainly Republican and don It need to be
stirred up; while on the other hand such
speeches make the South hopelessly and
solidly Democratic in 1888. In the debat-
able States at the North these Grand
Army outbreaks are not being nursed for
| political effect, because the weight of pub
| lie opinion is against the revival OF the
war feeling, and SO in States like New
York and Indiana and Connecticut, we
see little of them. It is losing game for
the Republican party. and as long as they
like to keep it up they will have the per
mission of the National Democratic part y
and also of President Cleveland, we sus-
pect.

to be having a monkey and parrot of a
time generally. On the heels of Senator
Riddleberger's affair at W oodstock, Judge
McGinnis of the State Circuit Court in
session at Huntington, fined Exon

to jail for ten days for having intimated
in court that the Judge was open to bri-
